One of the things I am horrible about when I do Morning Meeting is mixing up the greetings I use! I kind of find myself always drawn to just a couple of them. I've been wanting to take the time to create a little book of greetings so that I could have a handy, dandy set of cards with a greeting on each card. Although these greetings are not my original ideas, I have modified some of them. I've also made them all uniform and easy to print. Most of the ideas came from Origins and my teacher friends. I didn't use all of the ideas on the Origins website and they also have ideas for activities, acknowledgements, etc. so if you're looking for more ideas, check them out!
Here's the cover page for the cards:
Here's an example of one of the greetings:

I would appreciate any constructive feedback as I am new to selling and want to improve my products as needed.
Let's face it...teaching can be hard. It can be stressful. And at times you may even consider throwing in the towel! Tearless Teaching is a blog for teachers who want to find ideas that help make teaching less frustrating. It includes ideas to help organize your classroom, activities that are versatile and fairly easy to create, and other ideas that as a whole make teaching even more rewarding! I love teaching and my desire is to help other educators love it as much as I do!
One of our school family jobs is the greeter. I have wooden shaped that I bought at Hobby Lobby that we use as symbols for our greetings. The kiddos can even brainstorm how they think that greeting should look like. =)
ReplyDeleteThe kiddos love the greetings. =)
